Help+Manual training

UA Europe delivers customized training on Help+Manual to suit all levels and previous experience. Our trainer, Matthew Ellison, is a Certified EC Software Instructor and has trained over 200 Help+Manual authors over the past six years.

Although most of our clients choose a course based on the two-day Foundation/Intermediate course described below, we can also offer a range of more specialised training, including:

Who is the Help+Manual training for?

This foundation training course is designed for novice and intermediate users of Help+Manual 7 who are writing Help for software applications, PDF manuals, or policies and procedures. No previous experience of working with
Help+Manual is required—however, familiarity with the Windows operating
system is a prerequisite.

Though this is an introductory course, even users with many months' experience of using Help+Manual have benefited from the training by discovering new features that they were unaware of; and by learning a range of tips, tricks, and more efficient ways of working with the product.

How will I benefit from this Help+Manual training?

After taking the training course, you will be equipped to use Help+Manual 7 more efficiently and
effectively. Your new skills will enable you to get the very best from this powerful Help Authoring
Tool. During the course, you'll learn how to create professional-looking Help and printed documentation from a single source, and will discover a range of tips and tricks that will enable you to save time. You'll also have an opportunity to try some of the more advanced and powerful features of the tool, such as Skins and HTML Templates.

Training course duration

Two days

The course duration can be adjusted to suit your specific requirements. For example, if you would like to explore some of the advanced features of Help+Manual in more detail, or if you would would like to practise some of the new skills with your own project files under the supervision of the trainer, then we would increase the duration by one or more days.
